If you follow us here at RideApart, you know how much we love ex-MotoGP rider, current World Endurance Championship (EWC) rider, and TNT presenter, Sylvain Guintoli. It's not just his racing insight and personality that have us fawning, but how much he does for charity Sadly, Sylvain's son, Luca, passed away at just six years old in 2025, and since then Sylvain spends any rare spare time he gets raising money for the foundations.
Sylvain's most notable fundraising effort to date involved running the London Marathon in full race leathers, which raised £164,500 ($219,245) for the Parents' Association for Seriously Ill Children (PASIC). He blew the target goal of £50,000 ($66,640) out of the water, but this time, Sylvain wanted to do the same for his son's charity, the Luca Guintoli Foundation. It involved selling a one-of-a-kind motorcycle and was an even bigger success than anyone could've imagined.
